I report many errors in the last month that came up in the 5D Mark III and in the 1D X.

Some errors Canon had fixed, some errors are not fixed until today.

Waiting for a new firmware.

I reset the 1DX to factory setting and it's been free of err 80 for the past two days in different photo shoot with my 85L II.. I don't know if it's related to some personal settings....that a firmware update could fix...

I have used the camera a bit more over the past few days and not had Err 80 at all. Even with the 85L. BH is willing the take the camera back but they will not re-order for me until the current one is returned and then I will be placed at the top of the line... My issue is that I leave for 3 weeks starting Aug 11 and there is no way that the new one will be back. I guess this will limit me to dealing with CPS...

This is strange though how the Error has waned since getting it. I had numerous errors with the 85 in the first day. a few errors a few days later then 1 error and now none.

Im based in HK and after my conversation with the technical staff in Canon HK, they've informed me that its likely a hardware issue and for me to send it back in for repair.

In my case, the Err 80 never stopped popping up despite using a 24mm f/1.4 II, 35mm f/1.4, 50mm f/1.2 or 85mm f/1.2 II.... even without a lens, the issue came up. HOWEVER, it started while using the 85mm f/1.2 II Kinda disappointing given that I've only had it for 4 weeks.

Some people have reported this as a hardware problem. But apparently resetting the camera to factory defaults corrects the problem...which makes it sound like firmware to me.

FWIW, in my discussions with Canon USA tech support about the AFMA problem, Canon indicated it was likely a hardware problem and asked me to send the camera in for service. Some careful detective work by a forum member turned up a specific setting that causes the issue, meaning it's a firmware problem, as I suspected from the beginning.

well .. the thing is . i sent my 1DX to Canon in order to fix the err80..and after a week. i was told that the parts required to fix the problem is on backorder...and no ETA on the parts... since it's a new released camera.. it could take them forever to get the parts... and they gave me another 1DX to use....

to my surprise.. for the first week of using this 1DX .. i didn't do any peronal setting.. it was all factory setting.. and I have no problem , free of err 80!!!!!!!! When I did some sort of personal setting... the err 80 kicked in!!!

so i reset the camera back to factory setting... ...the err80 went away.... for the past 3 to 4 days..the camera has been error free... everything is fine..
